IF EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED WAS LAID IN FRONT OF ME
IT WOULDN'T TAKE YOU FIFTEEN MINUTES TO RUIN EVERYTHING
TO TAKE MY LAST WHITE PIECE OF PAPER AND CRUSH IT IN YOUR HAND
AND YOU MIGHT THINK YOU KNOW ME BETTER BUT YOU'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND
JUST WHY I FEEL SO LOW YOU KNOW I FEEL SO LONELY
YOU'VE GOT NO SENSE AND TOO MUCH MONEY IT'S CLEAR FOR ALL TO SEE
IT WOULDN'T DO YOU ANY HARM IF YOU SHARE YOUR WEALTH WITH ME
COS YOU CAN TAKE MY HEALTH AND FREEDOM THEY DON'T MEAN MUCH TO ME
POUNDS AND PENNIES DOLLARS AND CENTS ARE ALL THE WEALTH I NEED
AND NOW I FEEL SO LOW YOU KNOW I FEEL SO LONELY
AND NOW I FEEL SO LOW YOU KNOW I FEEL SO LOW LONELY
I'VE NEVER BEEN SO LOW YOU KNOW I FEEL SO LOW LONELY NOW

ONCE AGAIN I’M SINGING THIS SONG
THE ONE I WROTE WHEN I WAS YOUNG
AND EVERYONE SINGS ALONG AND SWAYS TO THE RHYTHM
BUT THE WORDS ARE NAÏVE
THE VIEWPOINT I NO LONGER BELIEVE
BUT I KNOW THEY WON’T LET ME LEAVE ‘TIL THIS SONGS BEEN GIVEN
FOR FORTY YEARS I TROD THESE BOARDS
FIFTEEN ALBUMS FOUR AWARDS
ONCE AGAIN I’M UP ON THIS STAGE
PLAYING TO PEOPLE OF A CERTAIN AGE
SONGS FROM OUR YOUNGER DAYS WHEN WE HAD TOMORROW
BUT THE WORLD HAS MOVED ON
AND I’VE WRITTEN SO MANY SONGS
BUT NO-ONE WANTS TO HEAR THE NEW ONES OR FACE THEIR SORROWS
FOR FORTY YEARS I’VE PLAYED THESE HALLS
I’VE PAINTED MY FACE TOOK THE APPLAUSE
ONCE AGAIN I’LL PLAY THE OLD SONGS
AND EVERYONE WILL SING ALONG
BUT THE WORDS ARE ALL WRONG AND HALF FORGOTTEN

I DON'T FEEL LIKE SHOWING MY FACE TODAY
THERE'S NO DEMAND ANYWAY
I'M UNINSPIRED EACH STEP OUTSIDE
EACH BREATH OF FRESH AIR
IT DON'T DO NOTHING FOR ME
I DON'T FEEL THE HEAT FROM THE SUN
I DON'T GET A KICK FROM ANYONE
IT'S GOOD FOR MY HEALTH
FEELING SORRY FOR MYSELF
EXERCISE AND WEALTH
WELL IT DON'T DO NOTHING FOR ME
SO INSINCERE I DON'T WANT TO HEAR
EACH LITTLE TEAR
I'VE GOT MYSELF A NEW WAY OF THINKING
GOT MYSELF ANOTHER WAY OF THINKING TODAY ... TODAY

THERE’S A CREATURE RUNNING ROUND THE GLOOM
Y’ALL CAN’T SEE IT BUT I CAN FEEL IT
AND IT FLITS FROM ROOM TO ROOM
CASUALLY TREATING THIS HOUSE LIKE IT OWNS IT
THIS IS THE STORY OF A GIRL
A GIRL WHO FLEW FROM THIS WORLD
ON THE FENDER OF A WITCH
A TOO BAD HARD LUCK DON’T STOP DRIVE AWAY
THERE’S A STRANGE SOUND BUZZING IN MY HEAD
LIKE A DRAGONFLY INTICING ME TO CATCH IT
AND IT KEEPS ME FROM MY SLEEP
UNTIL I FIND THE CHORDS AND THE MELODY TO MATCH IT
THIS IS THE STORY OF A GIRL
A GIRL WHO FLEW FROM THIS WORLD
ON THE FENDER OF A WITCH
A TOO BAD HARD LUCK DON’T STOP DRIVE AWAY
MET THIS OLD GIRL SHE WAS FAMOUS
KEEPS ME SANE IN MY CLASSES
I DON’T FEEL COLD DON’T NEED A COAT
I CAN’T SEE A THING DON’T NEED MY GLASSES
THIS IS THE STORY OF A GIRL
A GIRL WHO FLEW FROM THIS WORLD
ON THE FENDER OF A WITCH
A TOO BAD HARD LUCK DON’T STOP
I’M TOO BUSY SO SORRY CAN’T STOP
A TOO BAD HARD LUCK CAN’T STOP
DRIVE AWAY
WITCH

MUSIC AND MOVEMENT IS SOMETIMES CONFUSING
RHYTHM AND RHYME WHAT YOU GONNA DO WITH YOUR TIME?
TURN YOURSELF AROUND BE THE MAN YOU KNOW YOU CAN
CHASE AWAY THE BLUES WHAT THE HELL YOU’VE GOT NOTHING TO LOSE
SPIRIT AND SCIENCE ARE ALWAYS COLLIDING
FREEDOM AND WEALTH DARE TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOURSELF
TURN YOURSELF AROUND BE THE MAN YOU KNOW YOU CAN
CHASE AWAY THE BLUES WHAT THE HELL YOU’VE GOT NOTHING TO LOSE
MUSIC AND MOVEMENT IS SOMETIMES CONFUSING
RHYTHM AND RHYME WHAT YOU GONNA DO WITH YOUR TIME?
TURN YOURSELF AROUND BE THE MAN YOU KNOW YOU CAN
CHASE AWAY THE BLUES WHAT THE HELL YOU’VE GOT NOTHING
TO LOSE

DON'T THINK I CAN TAKE ANOTHER WINTER
THESE OLD BONES SURE FEEL THE COLD
AND I AIN'T GETTING ANY YOUNGER
I'M SICK AND TIRED OF IT ALL IF THE TRUTH BE TOLD
ONCE I WAS SOMEBODY WORTH KNOWING
HAD A SILVER CANE AND A LOVE OF MY OWN
HAD A STORY WORTH TELLING
AND MY LOVE AND I WOULD SING IT IN A SONG
SO MUCH HAS CHANGED OR ARE YOU STILL THE SAME?
OR HAVE YOU GONE THE WAY I'VE GONE?
HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON?
EVERY DAY JUST SEEMS THE SAME
AND I DON'T WONDER WHERE TO WANDER ANY MORE
I DON'T CARE FOR SUN OR RAIN
THIS HOUSE ONCE FILLED WITH LAUGHTER
SILENT NOW 'CEPT THE BEAT OF PASSING TIME
BUT I GOT MEMORIES STILL MAKE ME SMILE
AND FOR A MOMENT IT ALL SEEMS FINE
SO MUCH HAS CHANGED OR ARE YOU STILL THE SAME?
OR HAVE YOU GONE THE WAY I'VE GONE?
NOW THE WHISPERS IN THE WALLS BRING ME SOME COMFORT
SHADOWS WHO WAIT FOR ME IN LINE
AND THESE OLD BONES WILL CARRY ME ONCE MORE
FOR THE LAST DANCE WITH THE GHOST OF GOOD TIMES
SO MUCH HAS CHANGED OR ARE YOU STILL THE SAME?
OR HAVE YOU GONE THE WAY I'VE GONE?

WON’T SOMEONE TELL ME WHERE THAT SOUND IS COMING FROM
JUST 4 PEOPLE DRESSED IN BLACK AND THEY’RE KIKCING UP A STORM
IT’S LIKE SOME DISTANT PLANET EJECTED THEIR MISTAKES
BUT THE SONGS MAKE EVERYBODY MOVE AND THEY’RE GIVING ME THE SHAKES
GARDEN PARTIES – PEOPLE DRUM ALONG
EVERY FUNCTION BAND – DOING SOMETHING WRONG
STUDENT BEDROOMS – ROCKING AND A SWAYING
I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY MAKE THAT SOUND WITH JUST FOUR PEOPLE PLAYING
IT DON’T HAVE TO BE DIFFICULT IT DON’T HAVE TO BE TOUGH
THE SONGS THAT MAY SOUND DELICATE WERE MADE TO BE TREATED ROUGH
IT’S THE SOUND OF A VAGRANT KICKING ROUND A CAN
OR A BUNCH OF PUNKS, THEIR HOOD PULLED UP WAITING FOR THE MAN
DREAMING WRITERS – LOOKING FOR A BREAK
TEENAGE FILMSTARS - AGENTS ON THE TAKE
FREAKS AND HANGERS ON - SEEKING INFAMY
YOU MADE YOUR MARK ON JONATHAN AND THAT’S ENOUGH FOR ME
PAINTERS, POETS – IN LOFTS THEY CAN’T AFFORD
KIDS WITH THEIR FIRST GUITARS LEARNING EVERY CHORD
EVERYBODY ROCKING AND A SWAYING
THEY CAN’T BELIEVE THEY MAKE THAT SOUND WITH JUST FOUR PEOPLE PLAYING

We'll Meet Again
04:52

WE’LL MEET AGAIN
ALONG WITH OUR OLD FRIENDS
AND THE ONES WE WON’T SEE AGAIN
WE’LL DRINK TO THEM
WE’VE NEVER KNOWN TIMES SO STRANGE
SO MANY THINGS WE HAD TO CHANGE
IT HURTS SO BAD WE’VE BEEN THROUGH HELL
AND BACK AGAIN
TIME GOES STUMBLING BY
DON’T THINK YOU’VE GOT THE REST OF YOUR LIFE
WHEN YOU LOOK LOOK BACK FROM AFAR
AT LEAST YOU’LL SEE HOW IMPORTANT WE ARE
WE’LL MEET AGAIN
ALONG WITH OUR OLD FRIENDS
AND THE ONES WE WON’T SEE AGAIN
WE’LL DRINK TO THEM
IT’S HARD TO CARRY ON
HARD TO RIGHT THE THINGS WE’VE DONE WRONG
WHEN YOU’VE LOST SO MUCH OR LOST SOMEONE
TIME KEEPS STUMBLING BY
DON’T THINK I’LL DO IT DIFFERENT NEXT TIME
SURREAL, OBSCENE AND BIZARRE
WHAT IT TAKES TO SHOW WHO OUR REAL HEROES ARE
WE’LL MEET AGAIN
ALONG WITH OUR OLD FRIENDS
AND THE ONES WE WON’T SEE AGAIN
WE’LL DRINK TO THEM
TIME TO THINK TIME TO GRIEVE
TIME TO QUESTION THE THINGS WE BELIEVE
WE MIGHT FIND EVERYTHING THAT WE NEED
IF WE STOP FOR A SECOND AND JUST BREATHE
ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE…
